Steps

1

To make the syrup:
Combine 1/2 cup sugar (about 100 grams), 1/4 cup water (about 60 ml), and a squeeze of lemon juice in a saucepan. Cook over heat until it thickens slightly. Add a little orange blossom water, then remove from heat.
2

For the filling:
In a small bowl, add the ground walnuts. Gradually add the syrup until the walnuts are slightly sticky and hold together. Add the rose water and orange blossom water.
3

Take the kunafa dough and spread it out on a tray. Arrange it in a plus (+) shape. Cut the dough to make small strips for rolling.
4

Place the filling in the center, fold the edges over, then roll up tightly, pressing gently as you roll.
5

Cover the rolls with plastic wrap and let them rest for about 1 hour.
6

After 1 hour, brush the rolls with melted butter or ghee. Brown them either in the oven or in a skillet on the stove, turning until golden brown.

Once golden and crisp, remove from heat and drizzle with the syrup.
